oh, what a night

Well, Albion have just put in a penalty to go 3-0 up in the first Back Country derby for 5 years. We just aren't good enough. I'll settle for 3 points next week. We won't go up this year but I'm hoping we can finish 7th and rebuild for next season.

Anyway, happy birthday Becca and Carrie. Went out in Brum for the first time in years last night. We started off with some champaign on the train on the way in, then off to this nice little cafe/bar called the sunflower lounge for a couple of drinks and a few games on the gambling machine that had both who wants to be a millionaire and Bullseye (you can't beat a bit of Bully!) After the sunflower lounge we jouried off in a convoluted treck to Digbeth. When we got to the Sanctuany the queue was right round the corner. We decided to try the custard factory (which is only around the corner), Annie Mac was playing at the custard factory, so that was pretty impossible too. We ended up in a dive opposite with doddgy unisex toilets. It seemed like the point of the bar was for people to go there to have sex in the toilets.

We went back to the sanctuary around 12:30, it's a big place! 6 rooms, Drum and Bass, Indie, Electro and even Motown. Music was good but the sound was rubbish and there were too many people in there. Greg was wrecked by home time! We stumbled out at about 3 o'clock and jumped on the National Express. I couldn' t face a taxi when we arrived in Wolves around 4 so I slept on Tom and Carrie's sofa .
